CORE AND BACK STRENGTH

No Summer Classes
This class is sweeping the country! Thanks to a local physical therapist, we are able to provide this very exciting and cutting edge class. The focus is to increase your core strength, working through the 3-Dimensional parts of our body, increasing the strength in your back and flexibility with your knees. Checkout Pelvic Core Solutions to get a glimpse of what this class is all about. ! Pelvic Core Solutions
This class for both men and women, will strengthen your pelvic girdle and core to increase your mobility, strength and stability using the specially designed Pelvicore Pro tool and specific exercises taught by certified instructor. Weak or imbalanced core muscles can lead to lower back pain, hip pain, knee pain and pelvic floor dysfunction/incontinence. The pelvic girdle core is composed of your back abdomen, hips and diaphragm, all of which are inter-connected and strengthened when they are worked together as a unit.

The Ball is a separate charge. $60 (Your ball can be purchased online through Pelvic Core Solutions.)

SWEAT & STRETCH

Jump start your weekend energy! This class includes 20 minutes of age- appropriate cardio training and 20 minutes of static stretching to improve your vascular system. Learn how to become cardio-fit in 15 minutes a day! A heart rate monitor is not mandatory, but using one will get you better results in this class. Heart rate monitors help you understand your heart and how to train it, and the best style of monitor is the one that comes with the chest strap and wrist watch. The selection on my website I personally recommend. The stretch portion of our class, will be a series of stretches lasting 30 to 60 seconds.  Static stretching with 30-60 second hold times. This will help to loosen up your body, reduce back pain, and other aches and pains. Bring a water bottle, mat and towel—you will sweat! Location: NT Winnetka
